A directed search changes what gets looked at, and nothing else. Every piece
above went through exactly the same gates as a daily one — the sources are fetched and
read in full, every factual claim carries a verbatim quote checked against the source it
cites, a second pass reads the finished prose for anything the sources do not support,
and any piece that fails is thrown away rather than softened.
The one rule that is relaxed is the size floor. The daily piece has to clear a bar to be
worth the slot; a directed search has already answered that question by being asked.

Tell us who, and what you think they did. Somebody reads every one of these.
A suggestion is a note for a human. It does not start anything on its own, and nothing
you write here appears on this site. If it turns into a piece, that piece goes through
every gate above — and if it cannot clear them, it does not run.
